IUIFramework interface (uiribbon.h)

  • Article

The IUIFramework interface is implemented by the Windows Ribbon framework and defines the methods that provide the core functionality for the framework.

Inheritance

The IUIFramework interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IUIFramework also has these types of members:

Methods

The IUIFramework interface has these methods.

 
IUIFramework::Destroy

Terminates and releases all objects, hooks, and references for an instance of the Windows Ribbon framework.
IUIFramework::FlushPendingInvalidations

Processes all pending Command updates.
IUIFramework::GetUICommandProperty

Retrieves a command property, value, or state.
IUIFramework::GetView

Retrieves the address of a pointer to an interface that represents a Windows Ribbon framework View, such as IUIRibbon or IUIContextualUI.
IUIFramework::Initialize

Connects the host application to the Windows Ribbon framework.
IUIFramework::InvalidateUICommand

Invalidates a Windows Ribbon framework Command property, value, or state.
IUIFramework::LoadUI

Loads the Windows Ribbon framework UI resource, or compiled markup, file.
IUIFramework::SetModes

Specifies the application modes to enable.
IUIFramework::SetUICommandProperty

Remarks

This interface is used to initialize and dismantle the Ribbon framework.

Ribbon framework UI functionality is differentiated by Views, which are essentially built-in core controls, such as the Ribbon and ContextPopup.

To get an interface pointer to the implementation of IUIFramework, use CoCreateInstance to create a COM object with the class identifier (CLSID) of CLSID_UIRibbonFramework.
